The 360 on Energy and Carbon

Join David Arkell, John Pooley, and greenhouse expert Derek Schulze on an episode about a greenhouse's energy consumption and carbon emissions.  This episode features the growth and focus of the greenhouse industry, energy costs, future energy and carbon issues, and more.

In this end-of-year recap, hosts Dave Arkell, John Pooley, and Lysandra Naom reflect on the most impactful episodes of The 360 on Energy and Carbon in 2025.Using listener data and Spotify Wrapped insights, the team highlights the episodes that resonated most with audiences worldwide, spanning energy security, sustainable finance, grid stability, industrial decarbonization, and climate policy. They discuss how global perspectives from Europe, Australia, and beyond shaped the conversation, and why themes like resilience, energy literacy, and operational action stood out this year.The episode also explores which conversations influenced the hosts’ own thinking, what senior leaders should prioritize heading into 2026, and the broader lessons listeners can take away from a year of global energy and carbon discussions.Chapters00:00 Welcome and 2025 Recap Overview02:15 Listener Growth and Global Audience Insights05:10 Top Episodes Chosen by the Hosts09:00 Listener-Favorite Episodes and Spotify Wrapped Highlights13:00 Episodes That Changed the Way We Think18:00 Food, Agriculture, and Sustainability Beyond Energy23:00 Audience Growth Statistics and What Drove Engagement24:20 Top Episodes for Executives and Senior Leaders30:00 Biggest Listener Takeaways and “Aha” Moments33:30 Global Perspectives and Why Diversity of Voices Matters36:30 Lessons from 2025 and What Comes Next40:30 Final Reflections and Thank You

What if you could see every major greenhouse gas leak on the planet without ever setting foot on site?In this episode, Dave, John, and Lysandra sit down with Stephane Germain, founder and CEO of GHGSat Inc, to break down how satellites are transforming emissions measurement from a guessing game into hard data. Stephane reveals how GHGSat’s technology moves beyond outdated estimates to real, facility-level detection of methane and other greenhouse gases, enabling companies to find leaks, cut losses, and boost profits, all while meeting tightening regulations. Hear how direct measurement is upending old assumptions in oil & gas, waste, and agriculture, why most operators underestimate their emissions, and how better data can unlock both environmental and financial wins.You’ll also hear real-world case studies like the Texas gas plant that tripled its revenue after a “harmless” leak was exposed, and get a blunt take on why the culture shift around emissions is just getting started. Plus: what’s next for space-based monitoring, how regulators use (and don’t use) this data, and why the business case for emissions management is finally too strong to ignore.Chapters:00:00 Welcome and Introduction02:00 The Birth of GHGSat and Measuring from Space05:14 Why Estimates Fail (and How Direct Measurement Works)12:34 Who’s Using the Tech: Oil & Gas, Agriculture, Waste17:05 Real-World Case Studies (and Costly Surprises)22:01 Verification, Accuracy, and Third-Party Testing28:44 What 20 Million Tons Actually Means32:39 The Next Frontier in Satellite Emissions Monitoring33:49 Final Takeaways: Why Data Changes the GameWant to see your emissions from space?

In this episode of The 360 on Energy and Carbon, Dave Arkell, John Pooley, and Lysandra Naom dig into COP30 in Belém, Brazil, and ask a blunt question: is the COP process still delivering real climate action, or just more diplomatic noise? The team walks through what COP30 actually is, who shows up, and what 55,000 delegates plus 70,000 protesters tell us about the scale, cost, and politics of global climate negotiations.They unpack the tug-of-war over a fossil fuel “roadmap,” why countries most dependent on fossil revenue are resisting prescriptive language, and how that shapes the final text. The conversation also highlights underreported angles from this COP: the exclusion of military emissions from national targets, a new push on gender and inclusion, and mounting concern over weaponized climate disinformation.Whether you follow every COP decision or just see the occasional headline, this episode gives a clear-eyed, practical view of what COP30 means for climate action, energy costs, and the path forward.

Join hosts Lysandra and John for Part 2 of our conversation with Tamara Muruetagoiena, Vice President of Sustainability at the International Fresh Produce Association.This episode goes deep into the complex, energy-intensive supply chain behind fresh produce, and what it means for sustainability, climate goals, and ESG reporting. Tamara shares insights on Scope 3 emissions, cold chain logistics, energy challenges in controlled-environment agriculture, and where real efficiency gains are being made.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:27 What the Fresh Produce Supply Chain Really Involves02:43 Energy Costs and Cold Chain Challenges04:40 Tackling Scope 3 Emissions: A 3-Pillar Strategy06:00 Carbon Footprint of Refrigeration and Transport08:17 Energy Efficiency Technologies and Emerging Trends09:57 Why Measuring Success in Sustainability Isn’t That Simple11:29 The ESG Debate: Reporting vs. Real Action13:20 Streamlining Sustainability Reporting for Growers16:10 Final Takeaways: Supply Chain Complexity and the Limits of ESGIf you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to move a head of lettuce from a greenhouse to your fridge, this is the episode.

Join Dave, John, and Lysandra as they sit down with Nicole Yazbek-Martin, Head of Taxonomy and Natural Capital at the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute, for a deep dive into Australia's sustainable finance journey. From mining and Indigenous inclusion to insurance risk and ESG reporting, this episode unpacks how Australia built its taxonomy framework, what Canada can learn, and why there’s no such thing as a silver bullet, only silver buckshot.Nicole shares how clear governance, transparent methodology, and long-term policy sequencing enabled progress, and why every country needs to define its own pathway based on natural resources, Indigenous partnerships, and economic priorities. The conversation also touches on nature-related disclosures, the role of insurance as a systemic risk signal, and how ESG reporting needs to get more decision-useful and less bloated.This is a must-watch for policymakers, financial institutions, and sustainability professionals navigating the transition.
